    Description

    Hello... up for your consideration is this strand of genuine Native American Wampum. This is perhaps the
    nicest wampum I have ever sold .
    These 17" inch strands of 85 beads measure approximately 7-8mm or  3/16" - 1/4" in size.
    The beads are individually handcrafted,  drilled, tumbled, rinsed and polished.
    This smaller sized bead is often used in situations where weight can be an issue such as hat bands or the creating of jewelry pieces where intricate designs are desired.
    The purple and lavender colors seen here are unique to the Atlantic Ocean along the northeastern coast of the USA.
    The large cohog clam shells from which these beads were produced is extinct today, making these deep rich colors more valuable than any other time in history. You wont find more authentic precious Wampum  ANYWHERE in the world today.
